Is Biblical Manhood Toxic Masculinity?! | Live Free with Josh Howerton

In this episode of Live Free, Pastors Josh Howerton, Carlos Erazo, and Paul Cunningham kick off the "Love Life" series from a brand-new podcast studio set with a timely conversation: Is biblical manhood the same as toxic masculinity? Drawing from the Song of Solomon and Ephesians 5, they unpack God’s design for masculinity, marriage, and sex—highlighting the call for men to lead with humility, not dominance. From breaking down Christ-like leadership in a family to analyzing the viral Sydney Sweeney and her American Eagle ad, this episode challenges cultural norms and calls men to live with purity, strength, and sacrifice. This isn’t about hot takes, it’s about holy living.   👍 Like, Comment, & Subscribe for more life-changing podcasts! 🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss an update!     📝 SHOW NOTES Subscribe now to receive the show notes directly in your inbox with each new episode.
